M.S. Scott, VA3EXT; Arnie, VA3NOL; the
minutes of the November 8, 2006 Meeting be adopted as read. Carried.

Old Business

The Christmas Parade was well covered by
the members.

The Christmas Banquet was well
attended36 members and spouses. Good crowd, good food, good fun and good
entertainment. VE3VNM sent Thank you Cards to local business that donated
items for the Chinese Auction. Thanks also to Adrian, VA3ALC for coordinating
the donations. Over $200 was raised for the club.

Bryan, VA3BRY, chaired discussion on the
club communications trailer. In general terms, we need to accommodate several
operating positions, and have room for storing an antenna system and ancillary
equipment such as a generator. We need to allow for expansion, because the
trailer will be able to meet our needs for the long term. Consensus was that 8
ft. by 18 ft would provide enough room. The trailer would need to have a side
door and a ramp (for loading generator or ATV). Bryan had checked area and
regional dealers, and found prices ranging from $6,000 to $10,000. Our target
figures then are: $10,000 for the trailer and $5,000 for ancillary equipment.
Trillium Foundation applications deadline is March.

Scott, VA3EXT; Arnie, VA3NOL; Bob,
VE3YDN; Bob, VA3GUN; and Jim, VE3JLN volunteered to form a committee to further
study and propose what will be required.

New Business

The Eton-Rugby Winter Festival will be
held February 24th. Clayton Schneider has asked the club to assist
with communications for the dog sled races. Jim, VE3JLN; Bob, VE3YDN; Dick,
VA3DIK; Neil, VE3VNM; Leo, VE3ASS; Alf, VE3EFT; Bob, VA3GUN volunteered. Arnie,
VA3NOL will operate the Public Address system and provide race coverage for the
spectators.

It is Drydens turn to host Camp 807
this August long week-end. Dick, VA3DIK, will check with Birchland Trailer Park
to see if it will be available for that weekend. He will also book the picnic
shelter for Saturday all day, so that we can hold our flea-market/swap shop
under cover in case of inclement weather.

M.S. Alf, VE3EFT; Jim, VE3JLN, the
Financial Statement as at January 9, 2007 be adopted as read. Carried.

As of this meeting, 32 had renewed their
2007 membership. In 2006, we had 57 members. Renewals usually take 2-3 months
to come it, so we are half-way there.

Dave, VE3LMU, reported that interest in
the Basic Radio Class has dropped off. He has one YL, and she is progressing
very well. She will be finished mid-March.
